Triphenylphosphine → 6-[4-[4-[2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]piperidin-1-yl]-3-(trifluoromethyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

DIAD (78 μl, 0.386 mmol) was added dropwise to 4-[1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-6-yl]piperidin-4-yl]phenol (117 mg, 0.322 mmol), triphenylphosphine (101 mg, 0.386 mmol) and 2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethanol (obtained as described in PCT Int. Appl. WO 2007017222, Intermediate 1) (49 mg, 0.386 mmol) in THF (2 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours and then added to a SCX column. The crude product was eluted using 2M ammonia in methanol and the product-containing fractions were evaporated. The product was purified by preparative HPLC (Waters XBridge Prep C18 OBD column, 5μ silica, 19 mm diameter, 100 mm length), using decreasingly polar mixtures of water (containing 1% ammonia) and MeCN as eluents. Fractions containing the desired compound were evaporated to dryness to give 6-[4-[4-[2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethoxy]phenyl]piperidin-1-yl]-3-(trifluoromethyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine (79 mg, 52%) as a solid.
